Metabolic adaptation
Higher percentage body fat (PBF) is associated with successful weight reduction in both male (OR = 3.990) and female (OR = 2.266) patients.
Monitoring body fat percentage may help predict weight loss success in patients undergoing GLP-1RA treatment.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Additionally, a higher percentage body fat (PBF) in both male (OR = 3.990, 95% CI, 1.118-14.246) and female (OR = 2.266, 95% CI, 1.179-4.354) was associated with successful weight reduction.
Why this rating
